Re: Heavy tailpiece, Cumberland bridge, deer antler nut and saddl
I'll say those early 2000 MKs got good reviews at the time. Just Prior to Eastman bursting onto the Mandolin scene. They were/are pretty variable. Some were pretty good and others real thick finished dogs. Count yourself fortunate to have a good one. I think the CA Bridge and then playing with different strings and picks will give the most fun for improving the voice.
You have a BROAD range of mandolins to try tomorrow. See what feels good in your hands and how they sound. Then you can decide if they are worth the expense or not. Have someone play them AT you as well.
Play cautiously with tinkering as sometimes we fiddle with something until we break it.
